Audience Member Not good at all, the sheriff was not convincing in his role and it just didn't keep me interested. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Great movie! Lots of action and very well done! Loved the scenery and the drone shots also! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent cinematography with a good storyline. Would not have know that this was shot on such a measly budget had I not had the privilege of hearing the making of from the director. Cannot wait to see his next feature Coppenhagen Road. Thunder Bay is a beautiful location for movies and I wish more were shot here, so people could see what I get to see everyday. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Was lucky enough to attend a screening of Lee Chambers' "The Pineville Heist" last night. It's the story of a high school kid who stumbles onto bank robbers burying their stolen cash in the woods, and then his life is turned upside down when he decides to find the money and take it. You should check it out. It's extremely well-shot and obvious that Lee Chambers has serious directing chops. What I also find impressive about it is that Chambers produced it on his own with minimal funding. I've always been impressed by indie filmmakers who against all odds manage to shoot, edit and release a feature film. It's a herculean effort and Chambers deserves applause for that alone. You'd never know from the look of The Pineville Heist that it was made on an indie-sized budget. It looks great. It's a fun movie and it makes me wonder how cool a movie Chambers could make if someone were wise enough to give this guy a few million bucks! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Suspenseful thriller involving missing money, murder and mayhem that takes place over one night in a locked highschool. The Pineville Heist is beautifully shot, has an excellent soundtrack and a plot that keeps you guessing right up until the end when everything falls into place... or does it? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member The Pineville Heist begins with an aerial shot over the pristine forested land which sets the mood for the entire movie. The music was well chosen and immediately gives you a local feel pulling you right into the story. The story picks up right after a bank heist where a local teenager innocently stumbles into the robbers camp and from there all goes from bad to worse. The cast chosen for this film complement each other enhancing genuine credibility to the story. Included with the intense suspense, the story involves intertwined evolving relationships and interactions amongst a father and son, a boy and his friends, a school teacher, a janitor, principal, sheriff, cops, good guys and bad guys. I would have liked to have seen the story delve deeper into some of the characters personalities. This would have created more intensity identifying with them. You quickly become engrossed into the movie as you follow the trail of the stolen money. Be ready for exciting plot twists and turns. This movie is a must see if you like a gripping story and thrilling suspense. Kudos to the director Lee Chambers on his first feature film. . Is there a sequel in the works?...PH II ?
